The Damned

NOT CRAP 6 because they kept going long after they should've stopped.

Poor.

Very poor.

Who here has made an album that can shine Damned Damned Damned's shoes?

Yeah, me neither.

Not Crap.

NOT CRAP...though they did keep going WAY longer than they should have...i'd guess they're still making albums...maybe not...i probably have never even heard of half their albums, maybe that makes it easier to ignore all the crap they did...but, their first album is damned damned damned great! (well, probably not that great, i just wanted to make the pun!) the second one's alright, from what i've heard of the third one i think it's probably alright too...i wouldn't trust anything after that though...wait..."Video Nasty" wasn't a bad song, what album was that on?

Machine Gun Ettiquette is pretty damn good.
"I Just Can't Be Happy Today" is right up there with "Something's Gone Wrong Again." "Smash It Up" is my favorite.
Read their biography many years ago. It was funny. Also funny that not many people see Dave Vanian's influence on GD and The Misfits. Perhaps that's a good thing.
Crap?
Nope.

DDD=not crap
Music for pleasure=crap
Machine gun=way not crap
Black album=not crap
Strawberries=not crap

After that until Grave Disorder it's pretty crap.

Sensible is way under rated.

The Damned are one of those bands where it's hard to judge their entire catalog in terms of C/NC. When they were great (pre-Strawberries) they were truly awe-inspiring. After Scabies and the Captain left, they were miserable crap. It's hard for me to judge C/NC when the core band is not intact for much of their catalog.

Straight up waffle on this one.

Not Crap. No Waffle. Machine Gun Etiquette is too good.

Overall - Not Crap
Pre-Strawberries - Way Not Crap
Beginning with Strawberries - Starting to get soft and taking on a brownish tint
